New York City Center Encores! presents Rodgers & Hart's ON YOUR TOES, May 8-12, 2013. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge visited the cast in rehearsals and stopped to chat with Artistic Director Jack Vertel, music director Rob Fisher, director and choreographer Warren Carlyle and cast members Karen Ziemba, Randy Skinner, Walter Bobbie, Joaquin De Luz, Irina Dvorovenko, Christine Baranski, Kelli Barrett and Shonn Wiley.

Rodgers & Hart's On Your Toes, an improbable mix of gangsters, vaudeville and classical ballet, was the first musical to successfully integrate classical dance into the Broadway musical format. The original production was choreographed by George Balanchine and starred Ray Bolger, Tamara Geva and Monty Woolley. It opened on April 11, 1936, at the Imperial Theatre and ran for 315 performances. Songs include "Glad to be Unhappy," "There's A Small Hotel" and the legendary ballet "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue."
